Pilots and co-pilots are supposed to eat different meals during flights. The FAA does not strictly enforce this rule, but it is strongly encouraged. The rule exists in case there is something wrong with the food and it makes one of the pilots sick. Pilots are also advised to avoid certain foods, like raw fish.

Thanksgiving is the busiest times of year for air travel.

With Thanksgiving being an American holiday rather than one with religious roots, it's a time of year when millions of people are trying to fly somewhere to be with (or away from) their loved ones. It's estimated that over 30 million people travel during that week. Though it has been widely reported that Thanksgiving Eve is the busiest travel day, it's actually the Sunday after when everyone is trying to get back to wherever they originally traveled from.

The roots of trick-or-treating go back more than 2,000 years to the Ancient Celts. They celebrated a pagan festival called Samhain on November 1 that marked the end of the harvest season. The night before, they believed the dead returned as ghosts, so they left food and wine on their doorsteps to appease them. In the 8th century, the Christian church replaced Sahmain with All Saints Day, a.k.a., All Hallows. The night before — October 31 — came to be known as All Hallow's Eve, which then, of course, became Halloween.

Back in the day, revelers couldn't just show up on a doorstep and demand candy; they had to entertain for it. In Middle Ages Britain, kids who were mostly poor went door-to-door dressed in disguise on All Hallow's Eve, singing, dancing, telling jokes and reciting poetry in exchange for food, wine and money. Irish and Scottish immigrants revived the tradition in 19th century America, turning it more or less into the trick-or-treating we know now.

Americans spend about $3.8 billion on Halloween candy every year. Counted in this figure: the confections you give out to trick-or-treaters as well as the candy you keep for "decoration" at home and boss-placating at work.

As stated by a recent press release, the Ram Rebel TRX has been approved for production, possibly in time for the 2021 model year. The Rebel TRX will be the highest-performance version of the Ram 1500 family, almost certainly powered by a 575hp version of the 6.2L supercharged Hemi V-8 found under the hood of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

NASCAR teased one of two next-gen prototypes at Richmond today with two-time NASCAR champion Austin Dillon and Richard Childress Racing. The real cars aren't expected to turn left until the Daytona 500 in 2021. The goal for NASCAR is to return to the days of its race cars appearing more similar to the street version, more like dealership doppelgängers, making the term "stock car" more meaningful.

I also read that NASCAR was considering going to hybrid engines/motors in the relatively near future. Wasn't sure if that was the truth, but wow, that's going to be a tough sell to existing fans, IMHO.

NASCAR Could Go Hybrid

NASCAR's top series has never been accused of being on the forefront of technology. Hell, the series currently known as Monster Energy Cup used carburetors in its engines until 2012.
Of course, the 'lack of tech' that people see in NASCAR is a surface thing. Yes, they use pushrod V8s and four-speed manuals, but those engines rev to 9000+ rpm, the teams are adept in composites work and research, and the cars are as high tech as the series rules allow. It sounds like they could get higher tech soon.

NASCAR's VP of innovation and racing development, John Probst, recently told TechCrunch that hybrid tech is something the series is considering to add to its next-gen race car after it debuts in 2021.

It makes sense. IndyCar has already announced that it will add hybrid tech to its revised 2022 car. While IndyCar hasn't said it outright, the search for a third engine partner to join Honda and Chevy hasn't been successful. Adding hybrid tech lets the series tell manufacturers about the relevance the formula has to road cars.

It's the same for NASCAR. The current formula is great, but has varying levels of relevance to the participating manufacturers. Chevy is closest, since the Camaro on the road and the Camaro in the series are powered by pushrod V8s. But there isn't a Camry available to purchase with anything resembling a V8 or stick shift. And other manufacturers that might consider NASCAR likely balk at the idea that their cars

Along with the possible hybrids, it wouldn't be a shock to see NASCAR downsize engines in the future too, just like the auto industry. Probst has even mentioned the possibility of downsizing the engines so much that they... no longer exist, replacing them with a fully electric powertrain.
Of course, if the possibility of hybrids are still two years off, then a fully electric NASCAR isn't close. But it just might happen.

Why would someone do that? Free style stripes? Car is probably a stripes delete car (20% were V68). Sold for $132,000. IMO . . . would have gone to $150K if restored as was built.

Opinions on using 1967 Rallye Wheel Caps on a 68 or 69? IMO, the don't look good at all.

Wow, that color combo looks awesome on that '66 Mustang.

I don't mind the '67 Disc Brake caps on other Chevy muscle cars. It's nice to see a change sometimes. JMHO.
